2 Cute Ink Callenge #106 - Use Glitter

Happy Monday!

There is a fun new challenge at 2 Cute Ink today - Use Glitter!  The image is Panda Love. I need a couple anniversary cards this month, so this image seemed perfect for our friends and the challenge too.

I don't use glitter all that often but I love it.  Seems like I always have trouble with the glue and coverage.  So this time I tried something new {to me}.  I printed out 2 images, die cut one and colored the heart using Copics.  Then applied crystal accents {rather than glue} to the heart and added Prisma Glitter.  Wow - super glittery, great coverage and dimensional.  Where has this technique been all my life ;).

The super cute panda were colored on the second image, cut out and popped on the heart.  So glad the glitter photographed well too.

Patterned Papers: Pebbles 'Walnut Grove'
Cardstock: PTI white and Smokey Shadow
Copic Colors: R20, R24, R29, N1, N3, N5, N7, N9, 0

Mabelle RO: Little Princess

Happy Monday,

Today, I have a card using the Mabelle RO image "Little Princess" which was newly released last week.  Isn't she the cutest.

I used the July sketch from I {heart} Sketches for my layout.  The designer paper is Echo Park Happy Days.     

I added some glitter to her skirt and princess hat (or hennin - had to google the proper name).  Love the details and the movement of this image.

Simply Sweet

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is my day as guest designer on TAC Savvy Projects Blog and the set I chose was "Simply Sweet". Love this set - so versatile.

Here are the cards I created...

Cardstocks used today: Bazzill Berrylicious, Dark Sky, Bumblebee, DCWV Green Apple and White Caboodle cardstock.

The Tree

For this first card, I popped the 2 center portions of the tree, to make the canopy look full and 3-D. I took the liberty to add some extra detail with a Copic multiliner pen. The image was colored with Copic markers - YG11, YG13, YG17; R29; E55, E57, E59; Y38. The background is blue Pastel Chalk. Love using chalks as a sky background, so soft and airy. The Nestabilities dies used are Standard Circles Large & Labels 3.

The red flowers were the feature I repeated by stamping the red frame with similar flowers from "Simple Starters" (base catalogue). Lastly, I added a button and red scrappers floss detail and stamped the sentiment - which could be anything...thank you, happy birthday, thinking of you...

Feel Better Bear

 

I used a 1.5" diameter punch to create the circles, to nest them I used the 1.5" punch again. For the notches I used a 1/2" diameter punch, then added a white brad in the center.

The image was colored with Copic markers - R24, R29, R59; YG11, YG13, YG17; B41, B45, B37; E55, E57, E59; Y32, Y35, Y38; W-1. The balloons were layered and the black string feature was repeated with the added black scrappers floss.

I'm Sorry Puppy

Card 3 - This was actually the first card I created and started the design theme of pulling out features of the stamped image and repeating them. I created the slats of the dog house with 1/2" strips of cardstock. I inked the edges of the slats with Noir Palette ink and added screw brads to mimic the image.

The bowl and dog were popped to add dimension. What a face! Copic markers were used to color the image and blue pastel chalk added for the background. The bowl was colored with silver colored pencil and bone with Copic W-1.

The Dress

For the background, I was looking for swirls like the hanger and found "Wonderful News" in the Fall Supplement. I used Brilliance Platinum Planet ink. The red bow feature was also repeated.

I stamped the image twice - once as the base image then again to create the layered dress. The bow and straps were colored with R29 & R59 Copic markers. I used a glue marker and Prisma Glitter to create the sparkly dress. I cut out the dress and layered it on a base image like the dress is hanging on the hanger. The dot background is W-1 Copic marker. The hanger was colored with a silver colored pencil and red accents are Copic marker.

One Layer Wonder

Copics: BG01, BG05, BG09, W-1, W-3, W-5, YR61, YR65, YR68
